- “Buy-and-hold” investing really works. A fund that hasn’t changed its stock picks since 1935 is outperforming its peers.
- Earth has another moon. The near-Earth asteroid 3753 Cruithne completes one horseshoe orbit around us every 800 years.
- Warren Buffett eats like a six-year-old. He drinks five cans of Coca-Cola a day and has ice cream for breakfast.
- Beer was banned in Iceland until 1989. The country didn’t want to be like its hedonistic neighbors in Denmark.
- Drones will revolutionize Africa. “Flying donkeys” will be a leap-frog technology similar to mobile phones.
